For Bob, life's challenges have created opportunity for growth rather than burdens
to bear. When he started school he was clearly behind, probably a residual effect
of the nearly fatal pneumonia he had as an infant. Bob learned quickly to apply
himself to the challenge and by high school was taking advanced math and eventually
earned a BS degree in Math Education. Bob is a man of very high moral character
which is clearly demonstrated by his standards as a husband and father.
[JoAnne - mother]
When Bob was in third grade his teacher said he had a mind like Einstein who
couldn't find his car keys, but was a genius in science and math.
He was married
to Amy ELWOOD (daughter of Robert ELWOOD and
Rosemarie TRUMAN) on 27 Jun 1981 in Rochester, MN.
[Peter - father] Bob and Amy have been devoted to each other from the start
and their love works. Bob obviously delights in his role as the man of his family
as Amy delights in being a mom.
Amy ELWOOD (photo) was born
on 16 Apr 1963 in Rapid City, SD. Her father bought a new truck on the day she
was born.
[JoAnne - mother-in-law]
Amy is the right person for Bob. Together they have managed to meet life's chalenges
and grow through them. The gifts of the Spirit certainly are demonstrated in
these two.
